Registration for 2026 Summer Camp opens on Monday, February 2nd.

Our Summer Programs provide preschoolers through teens with a fun, safe, and engaging environment where campers can build friendships, explore new interests, and stay active all summer long. With low staff-to-student ratios and trained instructors, campers participate in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities designed to support learning, creativity, teamwork, and physical activity.

Activities may include science and STEM projects, arts and crafts, cooking, computer time, free play, construction areas, active games and sports, and team-building activities. Campers will also enjoy special events such as water days and field trips.  Kindercamp participates in in-house field trips, while VIK Camp A, VIK Camp B, and The Zone participate in off-site field trips. Select camps (VIK Camp B and The Zone) may participate in weekly swim days at a Town of Gilbert public pool.

Designed for preschoolers through teens, our summer programs encourage hands-on learning, foster independence, and create lasting memories in a supportive and engaging group setting.
